ENG V SUI

[JamesL]

5 PM kick off (BST)

Good luck to Orsato and team

 

[JamesL]

1st big call. Penalty claim from Kane. Clearly not a pen, bread and butter for the ref.

 

[RefIADad]

Off topic from refereeing, but England looks a lot more attacking minded in this setup. Good initial adjustment by Southgate to match Switzerland’s three at the back.

It took 16 minutes for Harry Kane's first simulation of the game... terrible role model and captain for our national team.

Didn't see this thread and started another one

 

[RefereeX]

Who closed that thread about the ball not being fully out before people giving throw ins

 

[ladbroke8745]

Throw in given when ball not out...

 

[The Ginger Ref]

Ref missing the most stonewall handball...

 

[ladbroke8745]

Referee now missed a blatant handball.

 

[JamesL]

Very very clear handball offence there. Indicating it will be checked but if course can't be reviewed as not a reviewable incident.

I think the ref missed a handball

 

[cwyeary]

He had his back to it. Would need AR2 to help.

Yeah I found the holding of the comms headset abit odd, it was quite a long way out the box.

 

[RefGod]

Kane caution farcical.

 

[RefereeX]

I’m a big fan of Orsato’s but this performance has just been a little odd from him and his assistants.

 

[JamesL]

Might just be the first time in elite football I have seen a player allowed to stay on after medical staff on after a caution.

 

[ARF]

Might just be the first time in elite football I have seen a player allowed to stay on after medical staff on after a caution.

Pretty sure there was a early group stage game where the player was allowed to stay on despite treatment taking well over a minute!

 

[RefIADad]

To be fair, probably a good thing that was a goal by Embolo. Had it not been a goal, it very likely could have been a DOGSO red and a penalty for the Trippier hold/pull.

 

[RefGod]

Might just be the first time in elite football I have seen a player allowed to stay on after medical staff on after a caution.

And he takes the restart. Trainers were still making their exit.

 

[RefIADad]

Again, off-topic-what a brilliant shot by Saka. He’s such a great player to watch-easily one of my favorites.

 

[ladbroke8745]

Schar being lucky with persistent fouling following his earlier caution
